Hello Eric, I'd consider using Sonatype OSS with Sonatype OSS parent pom and everything that goes along (see more details at https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide) For OSS development maybe use private (and not local) Nexus as proxy only, with mirrors defined in local settings.xml, but publish both snapshots and releases to Sonatype OSS repositories which get synced to Maven Central. Why run Nexus on local machine? To control dependencies and their metada for yourself only? Still looks as overkill to me, if you're the sole user and plan on developing OSS. You already have local repository, and you should have same experience as your OSS users (so no custom local metadata of dependencies, depend only on stuff available on Maven Central, with metadata as it is published on Maven Central).
